India, a nation with extremes like extremely rich and extremely poor; a nation of great Economic power but with poor economic condition of the common man; In the eyes of the advanced western world, India is seen as a most populated, diverse (in race, caste, language, culture, customs, food, climate, etc), technologically advanced (as in space research), economically powerful, religious, democratic country. But then why do the younger generation wish to emigrate abroad to study, work and settle there. During the past 150 years, more than 100 million people have migrated for work. And since 2011, over 1.6 million people have relinquished their Indian citizenship leading to loss of billions in tax revenue for India. Superstitious beliefs still exist. So in this publication, the ground realities are given (that includes my own experiences and observations) - the negative aspects or the 'darker side' which has greatly influenced and affected me during my over 70 years of life in India. Why is life not happy and contented in India in spite of scientific and economic advancements ? No wonder India is ranked 126th out of 143 nations in the World Happiness Report (2024). This book explores why for an average common man life is not happy here in India, listing the possible reasons for the present pathetic, pitiable and deplorable state. Will we ever change?
